Australian cheeses are a fascinating blend of European-style craftsmanship, but use the excellent quality milk from the Australian dairy lands. igourmet.com has put together the perfect sampler for anyone interested in the flavors of Australia. If you're looking for a change of pace, or eager for the perfect partner for your favorite bottle of Australian Shiraz or Semillon, discover these cheeses from down under. This assortment includes:

Apricot and Almond Exotic Cheese by Moondarra: Moondarra Cheese, based in the Gippsland region of Australia, is widely acclaimed for the high quality, innovative and unique range of flavored cheeses they produce. They painstakingly demand only the freshest ingredients and use unique methods of processing to produce flavored cheeses that leave you asking for more. (4.2 oz)

Fig and Walnut Chevre by Moondarra: Moondarra Cheese produces several exotic flavors. Here we are featuring the Fig and Walnut and Apricot and Almond varieties. (4.2 oz)

Dairy Vale Vintage Australian Cheddar: This extra sharp white cheddar is made by the same dairy as the Great Ocean, but these select blocks are aged for 2 years, giving it time to develop a striking tangy character. (7.5 oz)

Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal or greater value.

Would have preferred this as a gift set, with crackers. Instead had to purchase all things separately and don't know how it all arrived!

Wonderful taste and texture

All 3 cheeses were tasty and creamy. The Roaring Forties Blue is great in salads. We ate the Aussie Jack in slices with salami and on crackers. Same with the cheddar. Excellent choice.

Austrailian cheese assortment

I purchased this assortment for my new next door neighbor who is from Australia. He shared the Aussie Jack with us and it was delicious! He also noted that he was very familiar with the Roaring Forties Blue and it was very good.
